Thanks to all who joined us for Oakley's third IWD breakfast. It's great to see the growth in this event as more women join our industry and thank you to War Child for their inspirational insight into their incredibly valuable work.

Many thanks to everyone who helped make our recent International Women's Day celebration a success! This year, IWD's focus is on #AccelerateAction – a call to drive forward strategies, resources, and activities that advance women's progress and achieve gender equality, an important goal for business in general but in particular for the private equity industry. We were also pleased to welcome Helen Pattinson, CEO of War Child, one of our partner charities, who joined a panel discussion with Oakley's Cristina Popescu to discuss the important work they are doing to support and protect women and girls in war zones across the world. #internationalwomensday #accelerateaction
